looking for EPA and flexprog.exe for zavetech

[Dan.Grlx]

I have a Zevatech 570L, I have manual for flexprog but not the software. So I'm looking for the flexprog utility. I believe the Zavetech 460 and 560 uses the same one.

Also have the EPA manual but not the software. This is used for programming offline. I can probably live with out it.

Anybody have experience with the Zevatech 570L
So far it seems easy to use, but teaching it seems a bit tedious. I really need to get the CAD import to work, which requires the FLEXPROG

My program PCBSynergy will program a 570 Zevatech, it basically replaces Flexprog and runs under modern 32bit Windows environments.
It is located here

As Marc pointed out joining the Yahoo group Zevatech is a good thing as there are many posts of Zevatech Technical support.

The program You are trying to locate is called EPU, and when you find a copy for the 570L could you send me a copy too. The Flexprog program
basically reads in a Text file to generate the Zevatech *.P5A file but without multi-panel support. The EPU program then adds this in within the *.P5A program.
Any other questions, I am happy to answer directly from my email or through the Zevatech Yahoo forum, I only very ocassionally log into this forum

regards sarason.

Thanks Sarason. You're correct it is called EPU (External Programming Unit). I have the manual but not the software. I tried your PCBSynergy. I loaded file into the 570L with no problem, data looks correct. I haven't ran any boards yet as I'm still shopping for an oven.

Does the Zevatech 570L allow the programming of Multiple boards on the panel?

[Dan.Grlx]

Yes, you can do multiple boards on one panel, it's easy to setup, just enter pitch for x and y and number of rows and columns.
